I understand your frustration as I have to log in every time I use it too! Your browser should offer you a 'remember me' option so that it logs in automatically for you (mine did). Which version of Windows are you using?

My system is set up to remember passwords but the problem is that it remembers the password for a particular page. When you click a link to an article it takes you to that specific page which of course the cookie does not apply to.

I presume the way the new site and the old site handled this point has changed? The old site would take you to the standard log in page and you were then forwarded to your original destination whereas the new site asks for log in details on a different page each time (ie the article page).

Really basic stuff I would imagine for anyone who builds sites so really strange to see such a basic failing on presumably a well established site.

I seemed to have these sorts of problems on the old site but not on the new one. I'm sure the tech team will comment but you might try clearing the cookie and logging in again. I can certainly view articles without logging in all the time, and my username is as a member not an internal one.
